When Time Stood Still
When Time Stood Still
Written By: Philip Blake Fleming
The memories are as clear as a crystal of that sad day
When time stood still, an unjust price we had to pay
Thousands in peril, in fear of their final breaths taken
Being stolen from their families, the ones left forsaken
I remember tears falling, what has this world come to?
Innocence no longer safe, there is nothing they can do
Two towers of strength crippled by two deadly blows
Striking each of our hearts, warning us not to oppose
Millions cried their tears, and felt their hatred awoke
Forever tainting our dear lives with a darkened cloak
A nation came together in grief, uniting in great need
Praying for the families in loss, turning to our creed
No matter how many tears I shed, it will not change
Retaliation for a bloodbath, it all appears so strange
I wait for a day where we come together, not in grief
But in peace, enjoying the stars with a sigh of relief
Each day I live, I am grateful for the air I breathe in
I gaze to the heavens, asking God to forgive this sin
They know not what they do, they are just lost sheep
Guide us, dear Lord, in our time of an endless weep
